Marc C. Whisenant

Army Specialist Marc C. Whisenant, 23, of Daytona Beach tragically was killed in a training exercise in Kuwait on Friday, September 24th, 2010. Funeral Services for Marc will be announced at a later date, and are under the careful direction of Lohman Funeral Home Daytona. Marc graduated from Spruce Creek High School in 2005, and was a past member of the ROTC program. After graduation, Marc pursued his lifelong dream of joining the military and served his country proudly. He also enjoyed being involved in the Boy Scouts and was a dedicated leader. Most of all Marc loved surrounding himself with his family and friends. He found a friend in all, had a heart of gold, and a zest for life that seemed to make everyone around him smile. His life was brief but the legacy he leaves behind will never be forgotten. Although we are all feeling such grief and disbelief that he is gone from us, we must keep his memory alive in our hearts. Left to cherish his memory are his eternally proud parents, Jerry Whisenant and Elizabeth Cook; beloved sisters, Michelle Lyttle and Monica Whisenant; loving niece, Alexis Lyttle; brother in law, Jason Lyttle; many extended family members, friends, and a niece that is yet to be welcomed to this world. He is preceded in death by his paternal and maternal grandparents.
